Ben Affleck is reportedly planning a big celebration to mark the end of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez. Sources say the actor is eager to throw a large party with close friends as he starts a new chapter in his life. This comes amid rumors of trouble between the high-profile couple, although neither Affleck nor Lopez has officially confirmed their split.
The former couple has been living separately for over a month, and insiders suggest their marriage is nearing its end. Affleck, who has been anxious about the separation and fears a messy divorce, is now reportedly relieved that his “miserable” marriage is coming to an end. He’s excited to celebrate his newfound freedom with a “big blowout” party, potentially at his home in Georgia, where he and Lopez once had a memorable wedding. There’s also speculation he might host the event elsewhere, possibly in LA or even Mexico.
Despite the celebration, there’s concern that Lopez might find Affleck’s party plans upsetting, as it could be seen as a public move on from their relationship.
Affleck has leaned on friends like Matt Damon and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner during this difficult time. He wants to show his gratitude by hosting the gathering, hoping to reconnect and have some fun after being isolated with Lopez during their marriage.
Currently, Affleck and Lopez are living apart. Their $60 million Beverly Hills home is on the market, with Affleck residing in a rental in Brentwood and Lopez staying at her LA house. Lopez spent her birthday and their second wedding anniversary alone in the Hamptons, while Affleck remained in LA focusing on work. Although they are not planning to get back together, there are no immediate plans to publicly announce their split.
